Boston Celtics vs. Portland Trail Blazers: Stream, lineups, injury reports, broadcast (1/26)
The Boston Celtics will look to get back in the win column after a road loss to an Eastern Conference opponent this weekend as they return to their home arena at TD Garden to cap off a long road trip. The Celtics will host the Portland Trail Blazers in an inter-conference tilt that will see vet guard Jrue Holiday’s first return to Boston since he was dealt to Portland during the 2025 NBA offseason.
Even with potentially negative health news, the Celtics should win this one if they respect their opponent. But Boston can’t get past that tilt as they settle in for an extended home stand if they don’t want to start the kind of streak that only improves lottery odds.
